  text: "Inclusive education is about creating beneficial environments for all students
    (Booth & Ainscow, 2011). Within Germany, the role of special education within
    inclusive schools has been widely discussed in Germany (Powell et al., 2016).
    Educators worldwide consider collaborative teaching between special educators
    and general educators to be a fundamental precondition for inclusive education
    (Hoppey & McLeskey, 2014). The history of the German school system, however, is
    characterized by a rigorous division of special and regular schools that is reflective
    of broad divisions in teacher education. Since the ratification of the Convention
    on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in Germany in 2009, more students
    with special educational needs, as well as special educators, have begun to attend
    and work in inclusive schools. While cooperation between general and special educators
    is a key to the development of inclusive schools, many teachers report that responsibilities
    are divided between special and general teachers, while various challenges exist
    regarding cooperation (Urban & Lütje-Klose, 2014). Nevertheless, dysfunctional
    cooperation can foster mechanisms of separation and exclusion even in “inclusive”
    settings (Idel et al., 2019). The present chapter offers a reflection on the different
    roles of special educators and the current state of research on interdisciplinary
    and multi professional cooperation in inclusive schools in Germany. It also provides
    a discussion of relevant implications for the development of inclusive schools
    and teacher training.\r\n"
